Europe's First Oncology PBM Guide
- Europe released its first formal clinical PBM guide for oncology to standardize supportive care across centers.
- The guide focuses on consistency so patients get the same PBM protocols regardless of clinic.
Use PBM To Prevent Treatment Interruptions
- Use PBM to reduce oral mucositis and radiation-related skin damage to keep cancer treatment on schedule.
- Ask your oncology team about integrating PBM when mouth pain or skin breakdown threatens eating or treatment continuity.
Wavelengths Determine PBM Depth
- PBM uses low-intensity red and near-infrared light without heat to target tissues.
- Red targets superficial tissue while near-infrared penetrates deeper within an optical window of ~600–900 nm.
